Chapter 3 Sister and Brother Go into the Mountains
After carefully swallowing the last bite of steamed bun, Lin Nan patted his slightly bulging belly contentedly and smiled at Lin Xin, showing his small white teeth. "Sister, so this is what steamed buns taste like! So delicious!"

Seeing him like this, no matter how hard-hearted Lin Xin was, she felt a pang of pain in her stomach. She hummed softly, "Let's all eat steamed buns from now on." After saying that, she patted his head again.

The moment her hand touched her hair, Lin Xin froze. Tsk, what a sticky touch.

Wash! Gotta wash! Must wash!

Lin Nan sat in the large wooden tub with a confused look on his face, looking at the bubbles all over his body and smelling the pungent fragrance, questioning his life.

He scooped up a handful of snow-white bubbles from the basin, held them in his hands, and asked stutteringly, "Sister, what...what is this?"

"This, soapberry! Haven't you seen it before?" Lin Xin was not worried about being exposed. This was a mutated soapberry that she had created using her supernatural powers. A few years after the end of the world, the original daily necessities were basically sold out, and the survivors began to show their magical powers. The seeds of this soapberry were discovered and widely spread by a supernatural person who came out of a small mountain village.

"Soap pods?" Lin Nan's little heart was filled with doubt. He had seen soap pods before, and although they looked similar to the one in front of him, the size and taste were very different! And how could a soap pod produce so many bubbles?

"Yes! It's soapberry! My sister found this in a place deep in the mountains. She didn't tell anyone, and you mustn't tell anyone, otherwise we won't be able to use it, okay?" Lin Xin didn't feel guilty at all when she fooled the child.

Lin Nan, who had been accustomed to being robbed since childhood, nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice when she heard this. "Well, sister, I definitely won't tell."

"Nannan, be good!" Lin Xin rubbed his head again. This time the touch felt much more refreshing, but the child was too malnourished, and his hair was sparse, dry, and limp.

Well, I have to take good care of him. It's rare to meet a good child who is not a naughty child. Lin Xin's heart is now full of ambition.

After drying the washed child, Lin Xin found a set of cotton short-sleeved children's suit from the space and put it on him. She couldn't help but admire in her heart that a child with non-greasy hair and clean face could be so handsome!

Suddenly she became excited about her own appearance. She and the child were born to the same parents. It didn't make sense for the brother to be good-looking while the sister was ugly, right?

She washed herself with anticipation. After rubbing off almost a layer of skin, Lin Xin suddenly felt several pounds lighter. While Lin Nan was not looking in the kitchen, she took out a full-length mirror from the space and looked at herself from head to toe.

It was just as she thought. Although this body was as malnourished as Lin Nan, looked yellow and thin, and had many calluses on its hands and feet due to long-term labor, its foundation was indeed very good. As long as it was well taken care of, it would surely grow into a stunning beauty in the future.

It was still as beautiful after the new shell. Lin Xin was satisfied and put away the mirror to go back to sleep.

All the good mood was greatly reduced after seeing the situation in the house.

Lin Nan had already fallen asleep. The fair-skinned child was lying on a quilt that was so hard that it could be used as cardboard. The quilt cover still had obvious traces of contamination from being unwashed.

Alas! Lin Xin sighed to the sky.

She has all kinds of quilts in her space, but how to take them out is a problem.

Although Lin Nan is a child, he is not a fool. Steamed buns, quail eggs and soap nuts are barely acceptable, but if you add a set of bedding, he will be suspicious even if he is only three years old!

Just make do with your sleep!

While preparing herself mentally, Lin Xin despised herself. Her pretentious nature came out again in a new environment. Back in the early days of the apocalypse, when her abilities were still useless, she could just dig a nest in the grass and sleep when she was exhausted. But now she couldn't do that?

After PUASing for a long time, she finally got a towel blanket and slept on it.

Before going to sleep, all she could think about was finding a way to improve her current situation. She never wanted to sleep on such a painful blanket again. When she woke up again, it was the next morning. Lin Nan was still asleep beside her, with a trace of dried saliva on the edge of his slightly open mouth. Inexplicably, she didn't find it dirty, but rather a little cute.

Lin Xin stood up and put away the towel blanket first, then stretched herself. A beautiful day should start with improving life!

She had already made up her mind yesterday that if she wanted to change her and Lin Nan's current lives, she must first have money.

She had also figured out the source of the money, just go into the mountains.

Her space is filled with seeds of all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, some of which have even mutated. As long as she goes into the mountains and finds an opportunity to grow a few of them, everything will be solved. Then she can say that she was lucky enough to have dug them up.

so perfect!

Lin Xin gave herself a thumbs up for her intelligence and woke Lin Nan up.

"Nannan, my sister is going into the mountains today. Do you want to stay home and wait or go with her?"

Lin Nan had been rubbing his eyes sleepily, but he perked up immediately after hearing this. He looked at Lin Xin with sparkling eyes, "Sister, are you going to take me to the mountains?"

Since Lin Nan was born, his original mother never took him with her when she went into the mountains, fearing that she could not protect the brother her mother had risked her life for. So the little child stayed in this dilapidated house all day long, his only thought being that his sister would come back soon.

But Lin Xin is different, she has the ability to protect Lin Nan.

"Well, Nan Nan, are you going?"

"Go, go, sister, take me there!" Lin Nan jumped up and quickly took off his clothes. He changed into the worn and dirty clothes he wore yesterday. He turned around and looked at Lin Xin, "Sister, are we leaving now?"

But after a night's sleep, his stomach was empty and suddenly it started to rumble at an inopportune time.

But Lin Nan seemed to be used to it. Without even stopping, he grabbed Lin Xin's hand and ran out, "Sister, let's go!"

Lin Xin nodded and said, "Let's go. Once we get to the mountain, I'll find you something delicious."

On the mountain road, a thin girl was walking forward with a backpack on her back and holding the hand of a little boy. The two of them were chattering as they walked. Most of the time, the little boy asked questions and the girl answered. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in the grass in front of me, and then a colorful pheasant soared into the sky.

"Pheasant!" Lin Nan shouted excitedly as he watched the pheasant flapping its wings and flying away into the distance.

Lin Xin picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it without even aiming. With a "bang", it hit the pheasant's head.

"Wow! Sister is so awesome!" Lin Nan broke free from Lin Xin's hand and ran to pick up the pheasant.

Lin Xin followed him slowly, parting the grass where the pheasant had just jumped out, and saw six or seven gray-blue pheasant eggs lying there.
